This is from my Do It Green newsletter. As you know, April is the month of Earth Day so I'm guessing there will be lots of Living Green posts coming soon...

Movie Night: An Inconvenient Truth Showing and Discussion
Date and Time: Friday, April 18th, 6-9 PM
Location: Do It Green! Resource Center inside Twin Cities Green (2405 Hennepin Ave. S., Mpls)
Watch Al Gore's Oscar-winning film, An Inconvenient Truth, with fellow Do It Greeners. This documentary has helped create more public awareness about environmental issues and global warming than anything prior to it. There will be a group discussion following the movie, as well as refreshments provided. If you've seen it already, come for the free beverages and popcorn!
Sign up online, email ami@doitgreen.org or call 612-345-7973 to reserve your spot at the workshops!
*A suggested donation of $5 per workshop can be made online or at the workshop. Do It Green! appreciates your support!

Make this year’s spring-cleaning more eco-friendly with these tips:
-Clean it green. You won't have to compromise indoor air quality if you use green cleaning products. Eco-friendly brands like Seventh Generation will do the trick...
-Recycle it right. If you find yourself surrounded by possible recyclables, www.greenguardian.org will help you sort through it all. On April 11th and 12th, drop off post-consumer electronics for free at sites around the Twin Cities. For details, go to www.wm.com/WM/sony/index.asp
-Reuse your junk (or at least let somebody else reuse it). If you have a lot to get rid of, make something new out of something old, have a yard sale, organize a clothing swap with friends, donate to charity, or use Craigslist.org. Twin Cities Free Market.org is another good outlet.
-Don’t relapse. Use the next year to question consumer behavior. Before you buy something new, make sure you don’t foresee it in the give-away pile next spring.
